2017 marks both the 150th anniversary of Canada's birth as a nation and the bicentenary of the arrival in 1817 of this branch of the Irvine family in British North America. It is also the 50th anniversary of the author's family's move to Nova Scotia, where it all began. Follow the many illustrious and industrious generations from their beginning in Dumfriesshire, Scotland to Nova Scotia, Canada, and beyond throughout the world. From a pioneer farmer in the Pictou County woods; to a thirteen year old Yarmouth, NS youth, serving on the first steel sailing ship in Canada; to an Ontario soldier loyal to his King and Country serving in far off lands; to a transplanted Canadian lawyer knighted by the Queen and finally to the Author's return to Nova Scotia, this is a story of a truly Canadian family.
